White Rose Ultra

About this event

The White Rose Ultra winds through 49km of Yorkshire's Calder Valley, where rugged trails meet steep climbs and technical terrain. This is a proper test of endurance—think muddy footpaths, challenging ascents, and sections requiring solid navigation skills. The route showcases the raw beauty of the valley, mixing country lanes with demanding off-road stretches. Despite its tough reputation, the event maintains an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. Aid stations are well-stocked and encouraging, and runners finish to a hot meal and the satisfaction of completing one of Yorkshire's more challenging ultras. It's designed for those with ultra experience, though determined first-timers have successfully tackled it.
